Posted: 6/8/2011

A new game gets the whole family excited for more pirate adventures.

(NAPSI)—One of the world’s great adventures can be something your family can have fun with and feel a part of-without leaving home.

That’s because you can now plunge into the action of the exciting “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies in an adventure game bringing the colorful film characters to life—in the whimsical form of LEGO bricks.

With “LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game,” players can swashbuckle their way through many of the most memorable scenes from the first three films and even the new movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” The game can set children’s imaginations sailing on thousands of build-and-play adventures. The game features:

• Exploration—Players explore familiar locations filled with interactive LEGO objects and encounter more than 70 characters while making their way through more than 20 levels.

• Combat—Intense sword- fighting moves give the mini-figures a brand-new pirate flavor.

• Unforgettable Scenes—Favorite scenes from the films are redone with mini-figures, in humorous LEGO video games style.

• Puzzles—Players will need all their pirate cunning to find the hidden treasures and discover the game’s many secrets.

• Free Play—Building a collection of characters throughout the game, players use their distinctive abilities to access new areas.

• Single Player—and two-player co-op on one system. Play alone or join a friend or family member in the same room for two-player “drop-in, drop-out” cooperative action.

The game, by Disney Interactive Studios, can play on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, the Wii console, Games For Windows—LIVE, the Nintendo DS family of handheld systems and the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. It’s rated E10+, so it’s great for school-age children and a fun way for them to stay focused when school is out whether they are fans of the movies or not.
